watering

Orange day lilies should be watered deeply about once per week. Aim to provide about 1 inch of water each time. Make sure that the soil is moist but not soggy or waterlogged; if the soil is overly wet, consider adding a layer of gravel to help with drainage. Avoid overwatering, as this can cause root rot and other problems. During very hot and dry periods, you may want to increase watering to twice per week.

sunlight

Orange daylilies (Hemerocallis fulva) thrive best in full sun for at least 6-8 hours each day. Direct sunlight during midday can be beneficial, although some afternoon shade may help reduce stress to the plant during the heat of the day in hot climates. If planted in a shady area, orange daylilies may flower less or not bloom at all.

pruning

For orange daylily (Hemerocallis fulva) pruning should be done after flowering has completed in early to mid summer when the stalks have died back. To encourage healthy growth, remove old flower stems from the plant and divide overcrowded clumps. Trim off any wilted flowers and any foliage that may be dead or damaged. Pruning should be done lightly and should not exceed 1-third of the total foliage. It is important to not remove too much foliage, as this can cause a weakened state and reduce flowering potential in the future.
